FLAVOR FLAV: Pleads Not Guilty, Looking at 12 Years

Flavor Flav is back in the spotlight, and it's not because of a new reality series.

Flav pleaded not guilty yesterday (Tuesday) in Las Vegas to charges of felony assault with a weapon and child endangerment. The Public Enemy hypeman is accused of chasing and threatening his longtime girlfriend's 17-year-old son with a butcher knife last October. 

If convicted, the 54-year-old former rapper could be looking at up to 12 years behind bars. The trial is set for September 30th.
